It was a woeful performance by France and once again everyone here in England were very upset 
The Dutch have looked good in their games and will probably rest a few players for the Romania game and if Romania do beat a weakened dutch team both Italy & France will be out.
It will be interesting to see how the Spaniards get on tonight after their solid opening game.
Some very exciting games coming up in the knock out rounds.
-
Wow...what a finish to the Turkey game. They fought hard but that keeper should have caught the ball.
Was kind of surprised that the Portugal game turned out the way it did as well.
Oh well, on to the next round. I have no idea who is going to win.

Turkey with the comeback! It was an interesting match, made even more interesting by the keeper from Turkey getting red carded at the very end of the match! I figured Portugal would lose since they were resting many starters. That's their fault, I guess. Big Phil wasn't very happy.
Spain pulled off a winner in injury time! Villa is the man, although it came down more to poor defending than anything else. But I was happy!
Looks like it's shaping up to be some great games in the knockout round!

Oh Well. The Germans are through.
They don't look all that though. A totally uninspiring game and I fancy Portugal to beat them in the quarter final.
But how many times have we written off the Germans and lived to regret it. 
-
How about the German and Austrian coaches being sent off? That's a first for me.

Both coaches getting sent off was pretty ridiculous, and the commentators said the sanme thing.
On a semi-related note, I've really enjoyed having Andy Gray as our #1 commentator. I've never been a fan of Tommy "state the frixking obvious" Smyth, and thank god the annoying Julie Foudy is only a studio analyst. I always thought Andy Gray was the #1 UK commentator, how did we get so lucky to have him for the American broadcats?
Now for tomorrow, ALLEZ LES BELUS!!!!
KUNGALOOSH FOREVER!!

You guys've got Andy Gray? Lucky things. We still have to put up with Alan "Charisma Void" Shearer and John "Incomprehensible Screeching" Motson. Fortunately we also have Martin O'Neill to balance things off.
As for the ITV coverage...well let's just not go there.
Germany/Portugal should be a belter. Indeed Croatia/Turkey might be difficult to call due to the latter's extraudinary inconsistancy.
Big night tonight. Allez Les Bleus!!!! A France/Spain Quarter would be approximately 348900% better than Spain/Italy or Spain/Romania.
Rounding off with Holland v Russia/Sweden. Actually I can see Holland losing to either of them assuming they don't have their inevitable horror performance tonight (which I'm sure their fans will be hoping).
I've got a dirty thumb.

Oh dear. The French are out. 
-
So Italy is through. My...didn't France look bad again? You would have to think that England would have had a better showing than France. Looks like Holland, Portugal, and Spain have to be the favorites by now.
-
Horrible showing by the French. I still support them but they looked bad all tournament. Do you think Domenech will remain coach there?
How far do you all think Turkey will go?
Go Spain!

We are now coming to the business end of the competition.
So far it's the Dutch who look the best team but seeing now the Italians have got out of the so called group of death they will now fancy their chances. I feel if Luca Toni can put the ball in the back of the net then more will follow. Their quarter final against Spain should be a very interesting affair.
Potentailly some very good games to come and this is a very open competition.

The Ruskies looked good last night. Arshavin coming back into the team made a huge difference and it looks set for a great game against the Dutch on Saturday.
-
Well, I didn't see Portugal losing to Germany. I thought they would win it all. Guess now it's wide open. The Dutch seem to still be the favorites for the moment.
Do you think they'll take another look at the flopping in soccer? It seems like folks are back in form for this tournament and flopping around like fish out of water.
-
I always back my team from Germany.
If I had to choose anyother team it would be anyone playing against Italy!
I was completely surprised by the attack that Germany brought against Portugal. I thought that with fast players like Rinaldo and Nani that the German defenders would be hard pressed to stop them. I am glad that my team pulled through. When guys like Ballack and Klose step up, I think that the rest of the guys just naturally follow.
The next game that I am looking forward to is the Italy-Spain. Italy always seems to pour it on in the finals. Spain being one of the top favourites, might just make for a real exciting game!
-
I cant believe the Dutch are out ..Its like they didnt turn up to the game !!
Am currently watching the Spain v Italy game thats just going into extra time ..I am rooting for Spain cos Italy are so boring ....

I think it will be a Spain-Portugal final. That would be just spectacular!
